Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas - July 1, 2002 — Prodika, a leading provider of product management and commercialization solutions to the global food and beverage industry, announced today the release of its v4.0 Supply Chain Relationship Management (SCRM) platform.

According to Kenneth Crain, Founder and one of Prodika's lead architects, "The SCRM platform is unique in its ability to model capability across your organization's extended supply chain." Mr. Crain went on to explain "Through increasing reliance on co-manufacturing and outsourcing, our customers are experiencing a fundamental shift in the way they view and manage supply chain capability. Version 4.0 of our SCRM platform enables these customers to blur the lines between company-owned facilities, strategic partners, and traditional suppliers, allowing them to track and manage product value chains, not physical locations."

Enhancements to the SCRM platform found in version 4.0 include a robust architecture for facility-to-facility sourcing approval, seamless multi-lingual support through Proactive-Translation™, along with an extended security model enabling online sharing of Prodika-based content through supplier portals.

Prodika's Supply Chain Relationship Management platform v4.0 will be available to Prodika customers the week of July 26, 2002.
